Baton change for WYD Journey of the Cross and Icon

Published: 26 November 2007

After 150 days in 15 dioceses, the 2007 national Diocesan Journey of
the Cross and Icon has concluded, with the objects now set to embark
upon a gruelling Summer schedule of youth camps and conferences.

Having
travelled more than 30,000 km with the JCI Team, the symbols of WYD
will now be the “special guests” at a number of youth events and might
even make it to Antarctica.

The JCI Blog says the possible detour to Antarctica would bring to life the WYD theme of witnessing ‘to the ends of the earth.’

During
these events, participants are invited to share stories and images of
their time with the Cross and Icon via the WYD blog.

The JCI
Team 2 begins in mid January and the national diocesan JCI Journey
begins again on Australia Day (Jan 26) in the Diocese of Armidale, NSW.
